The brothers Weinstein shut the door on their money-raising yesterday, having collected nearly half a billion dollars from investors, and can now get down to the business of making movies.

The Weinstein Co. said it had raised $490 million in equity – or about $70 million more than the company originally planned.

Investors include Dallas Mavericks billionaire Mark Cuban and Vivi Nevo – the mysterious financier is the largest individual shareholder of Time Warner – as well as several investment outfits including GLG Partners, Goldman Sachs, Perry Capital, Quinta Communications and Softbank, among others.

Goldman Sachs, in addition to itself investing in the Weinsteins, has been the company’s investment banker. Goldman is now in the process of raising about $500 million in debt financing for the Weinsteins.
